I saw a 1.9tdi getting a better turbo, I instantly clicked. I am a simple man.
Much love from a fellow mk4
Unusual to see in states to use darkside but nothing better to buy from one of the best diesel tuners in Europe. They sell everything you'll need to turn you TDI to a rocket and with some help with injectors and as well as 11mm element on the mechanical pump you'll be driving it all smiles all day long.
Nice build
Weird seeing an American installing this kit, these lads are just round the corner from where I live and they're some of the best in the business.
Stay tuned! There’s more to come!
Noticed some bills gear in the background where are you guys located?
Cant wait to see where this build goes.
From a fellow 1.9tdi mk4 golf owner 😊
I've got an '03 Jetta TDI. Mines putting down around 140-ish hp but I'm planning on getting a turbo upgrade soon so it's nice to get an understanding of the process.
Awesome! What turbo are you thinking of getting?
@@GasHouseGarage kerma 190+hp kit. Comes with a vnt17.
i recommend you to install some ARP head studs to prevent headlift and destroy your headgasket, i know this from my own failures😅
and nice to see someone not living in europe who is tuning his tdi😀
its not necessary unless u aim for 2 bar + of boost, you can ger 215hp ez with 1.8bar max
@@atrabanefiltruota anything more than 190hp its so much safer to use better headbolts
Get a custom tune. Otherwise u will not have the full potencial of that turbo. Otherwise u could have waited to install both the turbo kit and the nozzles at the same time
Welcome to the channel! That’s the plan! We already have the tuner lined up. The stock turbo was on its last leg so it needed a new turbo sooner than later. Rather than paying for a re tune for the turbo, and then having to pay for another when the injectors come in, we just modified the stage 1 Malone for free to make the car drivable for now. It really isn’t that bad other than time to spool. Feels about the same power as the stock turbo which is to be expected with stock injectors
@@GasHouseGarage spool will not be the same. 17vk is a larger turbo. On the other hand I will have much more rpm to play with on higher rpm. Stock turbo dies really soon. The new turbo holds boost for much later
Not to mention you'll damage some stuff under boosting over boosting etc
Where is your BOV? The EGR valve has 2 functions, 1 is BOV function. The EGR delete pipe requires you to add a BOV. You may also need to adjust the turbo actuator.
What a genius
I'll be doing this to my VW Caddy 1.9 tdi. It's tuned but I want a bigger turbo, headers, injectors, fuel pump and better pipes
i have audi a4b5 1.9 66kw installed GT1749VA 96kw turbo and 2.5 103kw injectors full straight pipe little ecu update and now have about 135kw hope turbo will hold that :D
Love how clean cars stay in america. Here in the UK that would be rusty as hell and an absolute pig to take apart without snapping a lot of bolts.
Welcome to the channel!
They’re especially clean in southern USA where there’s limited snow/salt in the winter. Go up north though and it probably looks pretty similar. Port holes in every body panel 😂
I recommend trimming the plastic that sticks out on the radiator housing where the FMIC pipe presses up against. It helps it sit further back so you can cut less of the bumper off and with any luck get the grill back in.
This is awesome, looking forward to see the progress on this build.
Thank you for the support!
I had turbo from pd130 with intake manifold and air pipe and injectors from 2.5 tdi with tune( on stock parts) and it was pulling really good
i have a 1.9 alh and i think my turbo is done when it need to boost i have no power but smoke
and i wanted to ask if i can put a 2,7 audi turbo with everything stock
Can’t wait for the next video!
I just installed a vnt17 on my alh jetta and I love it
Awesome man!! Are you planning on running bigger injectors?
the gtb1756 is way better than the gt1756 i have had them both on my 130pd and the gtb sounds way better and spools much faster!
I’m planning on putting a 1756 kit in my 2.0 cjaa. Looking at the Xman kits and they look well built too, just not as flashy as the darkside lol. 👋🏼from Michigan
Xman has great stuff too! One of our guys is running an Xman GTD on his 2015 Passat TDI
I've just got my build running today gtb 2265 vk firad 160s ported head high lift cam kit forged conrods stronger valve springs sputter bearings new valves sachs sre clutch kit s3 intercooler kit I'm. Hoping to see past 350 bhp😎
That’s awesome man!! I bet that thing is a blast to drive
@@GasHouseGarage will be once its mapped I had the problem of a no start till. Today when I figured the timing was wrong which the cam sensor stops fuel and power to the plugs to prevent damage I learned something new today 😎
80's techno, fuckin sweet 😄👍
Sort of… hahah it’s from an old video game
Ok, i see you did the turbo and intercooler first 🤦♂️😆 my bad haha good to see you're using darkside developments, they were the guys who did the dyno tune on my car - small world!
All good man! And yeah they’re great! We also have videos on some other vehicles if you’re interested in that. Should have some updates on the golf soon!
@GasHouseGarage i'll check them out and give you a sub also, looking forward to seeing more progress on your golf!
We appreciate it! We’re working towards doing this channel full time in the coming years
@@GasHouseGarage i hope it works out for you guys! 🙏
Heck yes. 1.9TDI content. Subscribed :)
Thank you for the support! Welcome to the channel!
You really need a pd130/150 airbox and TIP pipe as its a huge restriction
Hood Exit Exhaust would be a good fit and with the rich map 🚂🚂🚂🌫🌫
your gonna wanna install race camshaft as well when u do your head
You guys are cracking me up with that chicken coupe light and the 70s porn music 😅 tdi hot rodding is always watched regardless!
I miss my GTTDI 150. Poor thing wasn’t well looked after until I got my hands on it. Sadly it was damage done. Great car.
1.9 tdi arl right?
@@StefKova511Yes 150 is ARL
I have one in black, even though I'm in the Ulez zone I won't get rid of it love the shape, some people hate the mk4 I think it's way better looking than say the mk 5
Suh dude, nice turbo.
Don’t you guys get pd130 and 150s over there, they’re so much better for tuning and bhp, in the uk that’s pretty much what we get and I only live about 40 minutes away from darkside so that’s a bonus
I believe we got the PD130 in select models in the states, but only after 2003. Up until then they were the VE engines. I don’t think we ever got the PD150 over here sadly enough
@@GasHouseGarage ah that’s a shame man because that’s what I’ve got atm and it’s so fun to drive
Yeah we definitely got the short end of the stick when it comes to TDI’s over here
Heatwrap the exhaust side
nice VE content. Should see if you can get your hands on an 11mm fuel pump and some beefier injectors...screw the map and evrymod that bih haha x
.280 injectors, headstuds and custom tune will be here soon!
@@GasHouseGarage sweet, looking forward to it
Hi nice upgrade, do u have a big difference after installing this kit without a remap? just the hardware i will install a gt2260v in my 1.9 jtd
regards from germany
Over the stock turbo, yes. Significantly more turbo lag. The new tune and larger turbo inlet pipe helped tremendously. However I wouldn’t run bigger injectors without a remap.
Whats the difference with the intake manifold in terms of performance?
The PD150 manifold has a better flow rate especially at higher RPMS. If I’m not mistaken the BRM manifold flows the best out of all of the 1.9 engines
Awesome!
Need for madness
How did you know the Tubro is going out???
It was starting to make a howling sound at times
bro i got the same turbo on my asz motor (131hp) and new injectors and water meth im about 260-270 hp now with software
but need a new clutch
Clutches are getting expensive lately!
Keep it up my man!
How long did it take for your parts to get there?
If I remember correctly around 2 weeks. Some stuff was stopped by customs though and took longer
How you gonna drop a banger like that onto a TDI turbokit install you daredevils 4:42
Nice!
did you do something with bottom end, beacuse i heard that if you go above 2bar of boost you can destroy it or bend a rod
From what I’ve seen It depends on the tune, turbo and some other things. A lot of tunes on the VE tdis bring the power in super early, around 2k which is the recipe for rod snapping. The tuner we’re going with tunes VE engines all the time. His daily is making a bit over 300whp on the stock bottom end. But hey, if it snaps a rod, it’ll make for a good video 😉
Solid video
Thanks for the support! It’s our first but definitely not our last. We’re working on improving our video/sound quality
@@GasHouseGarage Honestly I thought it was all fine. Video was genuinely enjoyable to watch throughout. I like the home made feel of it.
Awesome!! we appreciate the feedback!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LINK A alh TDI DP ........ THANKSSSS
Which turbo are you running?
What’s the second song called like at 5:03
From a game called need for madness 2. Stage 10 soundtrack
Hell yes….
Do you need to tune the car for the EGR delete or can you just install the pipe?
It’ll probably just throw a code if I had to guess
So that engine is very hard to tune, you have to pull the dme replace the stock chip wit your reamaped chip and then if it doesent work good you have to do it again, get a PD.
Hello! In the states I believe it was only model year 99’ that the ECU has to be pulled for tuning. 2003 we are able to tune it though the OBDII port
he has edc15v ecu, not msa15 ecu which needs to program chips
Oh okay
As I recall it depends which engine. Most 90 or 110 ve engines will give you an extra 30-40% extra power on a basic obd remap. The older 1.9 td 75 umwelt might be a bit different.
@@begachka 1.9 td 75 has mechanical pump, no ecu
Can I ask a question. What price you pay if you could give link to get more information thanks Ian
Hi Ian! Check in the video description, it has the link to the parts listed. It would be best to get in contact with darkside to confirm the parts you are ordering will work with your vehicle
8:28 what's for the collection of those in the mirror?
For the trash, hahah I need to get rid of those things
Hi. I have a dsg gearbox and going to stage3 my tdi scirocco. Any thoughs how that will hold up?
Hello! From my understanding the DSG’s handle power better than the old automatics. You’ll want to be sure to get the transmission tuned as well. I’m not sure what your power goals are but it might be a good idea to look through some forums for your specific vehicle and see how others are holding up at stage 3
awesome dudes, here in Italy we have a bunch of those TDI, wich HP was yours stock? If I get 220hp is already pretty good, did you bought that as a kit or piece by piece? if its a kit would you mind leaving the link? thanks.
Welcome to the channel! Sadly, here in the states we only got the 90hp version in this model year (2003). With the stage 1 tune It’s probably putting down 100hp to the wheels on a good day. I’ll put the link to the kit in the description of the video!
@@GasHouseGarage Thanks bro! Will be following this project, cheers!!
Hi can i ask how many kw was this golf in stock?
Like 67 kw (90hp)
@@GasHouseGarage okay i have same engine
They’re tanks for sure
Dude the link for the intercooler is wrong and I literally ordered it and have my car all torn apart realizing the pipes are all wrong…
Should’ve been this link
Are you sure? I just went through the purchase history and the link in the description is what is we ordered. Maybe Darkside sent you the wrong intercooler?
Also what turbo do you have?
What pipes don’t fit?
Did you get the euro crash bar?
@@GasHouseGarageyes I’m sure, I’ve got the same turbo now, the top side pipe is different and the silicones are different, the link you’ve got in the description is the kit for a pd130, not the VE90/110, intercooler is the same everything is the same except for the top side pipe and silicones
@@GasHouseGaragecan you send me a picture of the bottom pipe/silicone connected to the turbo? I’m trying to figure out the proper clocking and if the bottom pipe was fabbed wrong or not
How much power did yourl make ? With the 17 56
We haven’t put the car on the dyno yet but the turbo itself is good to around 250whp. Right now if I had to guess the car makes somewhere around 200-225whp after bigger injectors. We will have it on the dyno soon to see what it’s actually putting down!
Does this kit work on any mk4 19 tdi? Or only in pd versions?
It should work on any MK4. As you see here this one was put on a VE TDI. If you decide to purchase make sure you let them know what car/engine code you have
bills cornhole boards! where are yous at?!
Hello! One of the guys working on our team is from Buffalo, but we are located in NC
@@GasHouseGarage ahh I’m in the city of buffalo, been around vws for quite some time and work at a local vw dealership. Cheers!
You can put the turbo even on the 1.9 90hp?
For sure! With some injectors, the right turbo, a decent clutch, and a proper tune, the 90hp VE engines should be able to handle a good amount amount of power. The key is to keep the power from hitting too early in the RPM range on these engines, or else it will bend the rods. You can make the power come in earlier, but you’ll need PD150 rods
Great Video. Will watch again
where can I donate $20 for pippy's haircut fund
Hello, I have a Golf 4 1.9 tdi 90Hp 4motion and my turbo is almost broken, it doesn't go more than 110kmh or 120kmh. Can you change the turbocharger from 90HP to 110HP or 116HP or 131HP with the engine I have 90HP
Nice! We never got the 4motion TDI’s with in the states, so I’m jealous about that haha. But if you aren’t looking for performance I would just replace it with a new VNT15. If you’re wanting a bump in performance I would look into the newer series turbos such as the GTB, GTC, and GTD as the older GT series turbos really aren’t that great (VNT15, VNT17, GT1856, and so on)
@@GasHouseGarage I don't know if that fits my Golf 4 1.9 TDI 90hp
@@gzimreci3864 it really depends on what you’re looking to spend. A VNT17/VNT15 is a direct replacement and a much cheaper option. VNT17 comes from the PD150 engine. A GTB1756VK will also fit but you’ll need to order one for you engine code and have a new down pipe fitted. A GTB1756vk comes from the 2.7 v6 TDI
@@GasHouseGarage I want to make a turbocharger 150hp but every mechanic says it's not possible to change a turbo from 90hp to a 150hp. Can you give me some ideas how to make a turbo from 90hp to a 150hp if you can tell me step by step please
You’ll want to look for gt1749vb. That is the PD150 turbo. Should bolt right up to the 90hp TDI engine.
with over 300k my mk4 tdi turbo is also going out... i put a new head on the engine before 300k but do I need to rebuild my bottom end before going for my turbo upgrade?
The turbo won’t add any more power until you run bigger injectors for fuel. So in this case fuel maxes out before air. If you get a proper tune the bottom end should be good to somewhere in the 300whp range. They key is tuning the power to come in later so it doesn’t bend rods. You also have to decide if the engine is healthy enough for these modifications. Hope this helps!
@@GasHouseGarage Awesome thank for the reply. Yes I have already refreshed my injectors and installed larger nozzles as well as taken the injection pump to the 11mm from an automatic. I have a nice stg 1.5 tune from Malone tuning as well. Im watching your build with keen interest, thanks again!
Stay tuned! We’ll be putting the golf on the dyno and taking it back to the strip to see what it runs now!
From where can i get this fuel filter kit?
Welcome to the channel! I don’t believe I can post links in the comments but you should be able to Google “Nicktane TDI fuel filter kit”. I’ll also update the description with the link for the fuel filter kit
Are you still on the stock clutch?
As far as I know it’s the stock clutch! Got a 6 puck in just the other day
Subbed
Ayo, which engine you chucking this on? I have a pd105 BKC engine and want a bit more out of it. Been considering a new turbo
This is on a VE pump 1.9, ALH engine code, 90hp
@@GasHouseGarage Cheers!
On a pd 105 you should be getting 140-145 with a standard remap without changing any hardware.
@@begachka I know. I’ve got 154 at the moment, but ideally would like around 250. For what it’s gonna cost and the price/condition of the car I’ll just get a pd 170
That’s a bumper not a crash bar
Wie viel PS?
With just the turbo and stock injectors, the same as a stage 1 tune. With the new injectors we are thinking around 220whp
Go back to the stock intake for power gains. That aftermarket has no science behind it.
If I’m not mistaken, I don’t think the upgraded turbo inlet pipe fits the stock air box. This inlet pipe was designed around the PD150
Tdi with Bosch pump? 🤔 That is SDI...
Hello! It’s a TDI, engine code ALH.
yup, TDI with old VE pump
Hmm, very primitiv tdi.. should be tdi like my 150hp PD engine
@@TheSlobo90 very good cars, I use seat Leon with same engine very reliable engine
Never dies
I had another cars with 500.000km 1.9 Tdi VP and they run like new

Linglong tires
They ride surprisingly smooth haha. Once they’re toast I’ll be putting different rims and tires on it
darkside it's pure shit he sounds like high level thieves
That engine is form 1999 not 2003
Hello! Here in the states they put the 1.9 VE ALH engine code into the golfs/jettas until 2003, then switched to the PD engines
@@GasHouseGarage I have the 110 VE ASV(oil jet cooled pistons from factory) in my skoda octavia and that's a UK spec 2002.5 this ASV engine was used on early GT TDI mk4 golfs.
@@adivarso8175 Yeah they always gave us the lower power versions over here in the states. I don't think we were ever lucky enough to get any of the GT/GTI TDI cars here. If I'm not mistaken even the PD engines that we got were the lower 110hp spec.
Such bad audio
Clutch , axles and the rest of drivetrain in MK4 is weak......... I know that beacause have a skoda octavia 1.9
We will be upgrading these components as well in the future, stay tuned!
